TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I i Be it knhw'n that I, GEORGE H. Dow, ofFreeport, in the county of Stephenson, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in' Churns; will do herehy declare that the following is a full and complete description of the sanie','reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of the churn. Figin-e 2, a view of the top.

Figure 3, a detached section. Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the different views presented. In'fig, 1, represents the case or hodyof the-churn, in which is arranged the dasher shown in fig. 3, consisting ofthe shaft 13, having its hearing in the bottom of the churn, in a point and step provided for that pur-- pose. From each side of said shaft proceed armsC, to which the angular heaters D arcsecured, which are of the-shape arid arranged in relation to each other as shown in the drawing fig. 3. The upper end of the shaft is held in position by the cover, which is made in two sections, E E. On section E is mounted the wheel Fon the shaft G, having its hearings in the staysH. Said wheel engages in a small bevel-pinion, I, secured to the apper end of the shaft B.

1 Immediately below said. pinion is a dish or saucer, J, the purpose of which. is to. catchand retain'the dir t that may fall from the gearing while in operation, and thus the contents of the churn are kept clean from the droppings of the wearing-gear; i I p The p'ra'ctical operation-of this churn is'simple and direct. Thus, the cream oir h'eing put in is thoroughly gx'gitat ed by rotating the heaters by the"gearing,loperating the same by the crank The peculiar shape of "thebeaters is suchthat the cream is thrown upward anddow'na ard as they. revolve, thereby separating and dashing the cream in such a manner that the butter is brought and separated in a"ver3 r"sho'rt time.

' As above said, the saucer catches all the droppings anddust from the wearing-gearing, so that none can .j indits way into the chur'n.

-. What I- claim as my improvement; and desire to-secure by Letters Patent, is- Y The heaters D 'asarrangecl, in combination with the shaft B, saucer J, and case, in the manner as and for I the purpose set forth.
